Yet another reminder to always be armed.

And never relax. Even around 5'3" tall, 120 lb teenaged girls. Always be ready to use deadly force to defend yourself. These are ferals.

Reckon the police report can't accommodate commas in names.

She is hard looking at 16-years. This isn't her first rodeo misbehaving. Why no armed robbery charge?

I’m an American Citizen of Irish, Scots, English and Saxon decent. I absolutely cannot pronounce the names that are coming out of that culture and I thought my Celtic ancestors had a strange language. Go figure. Sliante y’all

Lawyer question:

What's the difference between Aggravated assault and Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon?

"If the charges are dropped or dismissed, this post will be removed"

Why change the facts? Why not just add an addendum stating the charges were dropped, and what the rationale was for dropping the charge(s). The fact is she apparently pulled a gun and threatened someone with it.

Attn 12:07 About 5 years.

The accused needs to receive consequences for the crime regardless of her age. I hope a couple of questions are answered:
1) Why she decided to rob a popcorn store? Did she have knowledge of something more valuable than popcorn being sold?
2) Why bring a gun to rob an unguarded popcorn store? It’s not like it was a jewelry store.

With all of these popcorn fundraisers, one wouldn’t think that volume of popcorn was being sold in a store front. Maybe she will answer some of those questions, which might be beneficial for the owner to know.

We all know that a thief is a thief but shoplifting with a weapon seems a bit much.

I am not a lawyer but I can read. Mississippi Code § 97-3-7 (2) states:

(a) A person is guilty of aggravated assault if he or she (i) attempts to cause serious bodily injury to another, or causes such injury purposely, knowingly or recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life; (ii) attempts to cause or purposely or knowingly causes bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon or other means likely to produce death or serious bodily harm; or (iii) causes any injury to a child who is in the process of boarding or exiting a school bus in the course of a violation of Section 63-3-615; and, upon conviction, he or she shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one (1) year or sentenced to the custody of the Department of Corrections for not more than twenty (20) years.

I found no code section for "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon," probably because there is no such redundant crime.

There is a five-year additional penalty for using a firearm in a felony (10 years if you're already a convicted felon). Miss Code § 97-37-37. It's supposed to be a minimum penalty that can't be suspended, but, naturally, the courts habitually ignore it.

Probably gang initiation! These fools will never learn. Just throw their asses away before some innocent bystander is killed!

Everyone from those places you named would just consider you an ugly yank.

I saw online that allegedly Patterson's mother was with her when this occurred. If so, that is really pathetic.

One wonders why the mall owners would spend upwards of $50 million on a dying commercial business model.

Desperation. What are they going to do with the husk of an abandoned, dead mall?

12:30, Probably because she's a child under 18. I think the only reason her name was published is because she's charged as an adult. If that charge goes away, so should her published name.

KF is pretty good about following up on stuff to amend, correct, etc., after the initial fanfare has subsided. I call that character.

The owners renovated the mall for the tax benefit! Ridgeland lobbied well and the mall is apart of an Opportunity Zone. The renovation was merely a large company using the mall to defer capital gains. Not what you make but what you keep.

Malls are only dying in America. They are flourishing in places that do not suffer the same cultural issues that exist in the USA.

Why would you hold up a store for popcorn when every day we see it available right here on Jambalaya for free?

Gettin' me some now so I can enjoy the rest of the posts.

I agree with 8:55. The mall concept is still a good concept and it works. The problem is the behavior that these malls attracts. If folks could act right, the malls would still be flourishing.

Heck, MetroCenter would still be open and thriving if the area was still nice, restaurants were open, crime rate was almost zero. MetroCenter certainly didn't die because the mall concept was bad or outdated. MetroCenter died because of potholes, surrounding infrastructure, crime in the area, abandonded buildings in the area, dangerous demographic in the mall, etc. It became a place where women and families no longer felt comfortable shopping. The concept was still good while the atmosphere was not.

@ 1:51 I found no code section for "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon," probably because there is no such redundant crime.

Subsection: "(ii) attempts to cause or purposely or knowingly causes bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon or other means likely to produce death or serious bodily harm". Guns, knives etc

Agg Assault by Choking, as we see in some Domestic Violence cases is without a weapon. Poisons, chemicals, cars, chairs, and other blunt type objects are normally not weapons unless used with intent as such.

Once the Juvenile system let her go to adult status, even if the charge is dismissed or reduced, she will remain recognized as an adult, unless expungement occurs.

Go easy. Seriously, who here hasn't had a popcorn craving? amirite?

The Europa Center in Berlin was built in the 1960's, and it is still a robust shopping venue today. Difference? Safe and popular location, and continuously updating to remain current.

There are plenty of urban areas around the country that have malls, that have been functioning for well over 40 years. The biggest issue with the Jackson Metro Area is that there's cutthroat competition to pull businesses from one area and move them to another. We are just spinning our wheels with the current trajectory of development.

It doesn't have to be this hard, but here we are. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Thanks Jackson.
Your parasites have drained you as a host so now Madison County will have to save you from your moron faux-justice system.
Be sure to send Mayor Gene and Mary a Thank You card for prosecuting your garbage.
Speaking of garbage, how's that contract debacle going?

Incarcerate the parents.
